# Arceus #XY83 — XY Black Star Promos

## Summary

Arceus is the Pokémon's own creator myth, so it draws collectors on lore alone, and the Sinnoh mythical has rarely missed a chance to be reprinted as a promo. Shin Nagasawa is a respected name among illustrators, which lends this XY-era Black Star some quiet pedigree beyond its modest rarity tier. The modelled guide sits at $77 with 28 copies traded in 30 days; PSA has slabbed 1,010 of these and only 6 are 10s, a 0.6% gem rate that makes the raw-to-gem gap the entire trade.
